Orders placed before Friday will be delivered to school the following Wednesday - you will be able to collect from Reception on Thursday. Please remember it is you or your child’s responsibility to come to reception to collect goods that have been delivered to school direct from Sportswear International. Reception will NOT be sending out notifications that delivery has been received.

Purchase of house ties, aprons and maths equipment can still be purchased from the school reception. A “Sundries” order form is available below.

The school reserves the right to decide whether an item of uniform or jewellery, make-up or hairstyle complies with what is acceptable. Any items that are not acceptable may be confiscated for a fixed period of time.

· If a skirt is worn - socks (black or white) or tights (black or neutral) should be plain.

NB The guide for skirt length is that the hem should not be less than half the distance from the hip bone to the point of the knee. We will not be measuring individuals as this is only a guide but it gives a clear indication of what a suitable minimum length should be.
